Wanna be HIM bands

[Goetia]

I started this thread just for the sakes that i remembered my first HIM concert looking through some old pictures and i remember this Band SEVEN that i loved since the first time i layed my eyes on the lead singer (i think he has a most wonderful voice)...and i thought that i could share this with you guys.
Anyway here's what the guy said : quote

I started the band in the beginning of 2000, playing a goth rock influenced by Lake of tears and Paradise lost.One night, I was having s** with a female med student, when the piano theme from "Join me" by finish band HIM, caught my complete attention, forcing me to prematurely withdraw. It instantly became clear to me that this was the kind of sound I was looking for with the band. So we got into the whole love metal-goth rock-finngoth thing, doing what we love and loving what we do - no compromises. I have to add, both the latino and the transsylvanian side of us put their stamp on the music. So far, with roumanian lyrics only-we are waiting for that special trip to Helsinki. 6 years later, we have 200 gigs, 10 former bandmates, appetite for female corruption, semi-rockstar status.We love metal and love metal loves us. Dudu isabel(vocals, SEVEN)

Ok so ...i saw them in a club before a HIM gig in Sibiu/Transylvania and imedeatly saw the resemblence with Ville ...his moves gestures and even his clothes were ville like . So here's a link of one of their shows ...although the lyrics are in romanian i think the "HIm sound" totally stands out.



sorry about the bad sound and video quality

For some reason I had this lot bookmarked. mainly because it terrified me a little, mainly because I was hoping a thread like this may live again.

His name is Jonathon, yet somehow he is "jonne" god bless foolish british people who think they can be finnish just be rearranging their name to sound more adept and finnish like. [if that's even a terminology]

I see wut u did thar.
the music is a large rip off but the gold is in the Photography, my personal favourite being the snow photoshoot.

Vill.....eh......no.

[stigmata92]

Ugh those pictures are so bad. Especially because it's so blatantly obvious they are rip offs of HIM pics.

[jasonbmw]

I'd love to find another band like HIM but I don't think it's that guy.

[shirmila]

This is the creepiest thing I have seen in a while, who knows it may be a phase they are going through and they may grow out of it.

[LonelyRoad]

that is fucking terrible.

the band is just about as bad as that picture...

the first song  is definetly a rip off of your sweet six six six in the starting keyboard

[Daedalus]

Could they try any harder to be like HIM? Every one of their publicity shots looks exactly like a HIM shot I've seen!

Wow. Their song on that website the basically rips off Beautiful (Third Seal) [It might actually be the Hollovlad Tapes]. And their logo is an upside-down heart with a circle in it? They made no effort to try and hide their clear influence.

[Jay]

Wow, that's so blatant!  It's okay to use the look as it's generic now, but to use the music? God...

[LonelyRoad]

ill be COMPLETELY honest....

at least it sounds good....i mean...it'll get them no where...but...at least its not just out-right horrible.

the first song is cool...2nd song isnt good. but...whateve.

I&TBR was the best band that was considered a "HIM ripoff band"

......and im not just saying that because i had a chance to play drums for Icon's solo project.....and thats 100% no joke... plane tickets to london, with no job when your 18 are expensive...
